hi George!

i could buy into your response if it didn't appear that this division was the start of her bitterness and nastiness and the hate she spews... i get the sincere feeling that the church split was not the beginning of this nonsense from lois...

i would bet that she was just the same as she is now prior to the split but was spitting at somebody or something else.

i believe that lois has shared before that her "home branch" was happy to see her go and while i regret that this happened i can certainly see why...

no, if this were a new thing and a deep wound caused solely by the split in the church it would be more understandable... i don't see that it is nor was and that is what makes the bitterness and hate that spews at every opportunity, quite laughable.
